hund

→ Finnish: hunttu

From Old Swedish hunder, from Old Norse hundr, from Proto-Germanic *hundaz, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱwn̥tós, a variant of *ḱwṓ (“dog”). Masculine in Late Modern Swedish. Akin to Gothic 𐌷𐌿𐌽𐌳𐍃 (hunds), English hound.

Hon klappade hunden

Hunden sprang omkring med ett ben i käften och viftade på svansen

The dog was running around with a bone on its mouth, wagging its tail

När en hund skäller så låter det "voff / vov"

Hundar äter hundmat

Hunden är inne i hundkojan

Hunden hade fått en sticka i tassen och gnydde

The dog had gotten a splinter in its paw and was whimpering

Hunden har fin päls

The dog has a beautiful coat [has nice/pretty fur]

Hunden är människans bästa vän

(literally, “The dog [implies dogs as an animal here] is the human's [implies humans as an animal here] best friend”)

Är du en hundmänniska eller en kattmänniska?
Are you a dog person or a cat person? [människa is literally human, but often used like person]

Får man ta hunden med sig in i himlen? Han är snäll och han har varit en riktig vän. Han är klok och fin, och skatten är betald. Får man det, du speleman, då blir jag glad.

1982, Hasse Andersson (lyrics and music), “Änglahund [Angel dog]”, in Änglahund [Angel dog]:

Are you allowed to take your dog with you into heaven? He is kind and he has been a true friend. He is wise and pretty, and the tax is paid. If you may do that, fiddler, I will be happy.

1891, “Det var dans bort i vägen [There was a dance down the road]”, Gustaf Fröding (lyrics), Helfrid Lambert (music)performed by Sven-Ingvars:

And a fox joined in the funny [more towards "comically amusing"] song [or maybe sound, in an archaic sense], and an owl cried uhu! [sic] from Brynbärsbråten [capitalized, so perhaps a place name – or perhaps raspberry [dialectal, Värmland] thicket [heap of twigs]], and they didn't notice it, they didn't hear it [and they noticed, they heard it not]. But uhu! the echo was heard screeching from Getberget [The goat mountain], and in response to Nils Utterman's "doddly deea," there came doodly doodly dey!

Vargen ylar i nattens skog. Han vill men kan inte sova. Hungern river hans vargabuk, och det är kallt i hans stova. Du varg, du varg, kom inte hit. Ungen min får du aldrig.

1984, “Vargsången [The wolf song]”, Astrid Lindgren (lyrics), Björn Isfält (music)performed by Lena Nyman:

The wolf howls in the forest of the night. He wants to sleep but cannot. ["He wants to but cannot sleep" – "He wants to X" is "Han vill X"] [The] hunger tears his wolf's belly, and it is cold in his stove [archaic, dialectal, in the dated English sense]. Hey [du (“you”) can be used as a vocative] wolf, hey wolf, do not come here [hither, to here]. My child you will never have.
